witchchildI'm in Florida for the holidays with mandyann and her brigadefamily and posted this to fb a little while ago.
Now that the mad dash to be here, get presents, and do all the things has passed, I have a little breathing room.
First off, 5 days with new thyroid meds and yes I feel a difference. What's awesome is it is a change for the better once again. I feel a little more energetic and wanting to get up and do things. The real test will be if I feel this way in my house. (which is going to get a thorough spiritual cleaning for the new year.)
mandyann pointed out something I hadn't realized, since it's always been that way: that I've always been some measure of low energy even when I want to go out and conquer the world. Which again reinforces for me that my endocrine system has been an issue my whole life. Alas it was never enough to register on any test and get something done about it before my 40s.
Second, I cannot wait for 2018 to arrive. I pray it becomes the year when I DO the things I talk about for previous years.
Third, may I be more social next year, both offline and on. There are several people of you here who I like to see posting but have not interacted with so much and want to change that. And the people in my area, I want to see more of you all. Unstable Unicorns nights must become a thing.
and fourth, for here, one of my goals for the next year is posting to lj/dw at least once a week and comment more. Most of my spoons have been focused on just keeping myself going. I skipped reading a lot over the summer for various reasons and need to bring back the habit.
